Error 0xc0000022 windows 7 when starting various programs

[yodecat]

When I attempt to open various programs (Genie Backup, Adobe X for example) I get this error message. I've had problems with the OS, and would really like to back up my files and do a clean install. Thank you all for your attention.

System specs pls, and when did that happen?

Thanks for the reply. I'm going for the nuclear option: backup, then clean install. I suspect corruption in the registry and perhaps malware that Avast didn't pick up.

Thanks again,
